1 Kings 1:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ Bathsheba bowed low in front of the king.

“What do you want?” the king asked.

¹⁷ She said to him, “My master, you made a promise in the name of the Lord your God. You promised me, ‘Your son Solomon will be king after me. He will sit on my throne.’ ¹⁸ But now Adonijah has made himself king. And you don’t even know about it.
